Imagine a fluffy marshmallow dipped in chocolate on the ears, nose, paws and tail. That’s the pointed pattern that Himalayan cats inherited from their Siamese ancestors.
Their round eyes, flat face, and thick neck give them a look that’s both adorable and a little aristocratic. These long haired cats have a light colored body with color points in shades like seal, blue, chocolate, lilac and even blue cream.
Their personality? Generally friendly and affectionate, Himalayans are the epitome of lap cats. They love calm environments, enjoy kitten-like activities with toy mice, will chase balls and thrive on mental stimulation.
They’re great companions and usually get along with other pets. Just don’t expect them to climb your curtains; these cats prefer to lounge in style.
